That's what I was getting at. Cain didn't contend for the win, but still PR'd in a tough race. The US champs are going to be exciting.
That is about 9 seconds faster than Mary ran this time last year. (4:39 penn relays mile)...I think she'll keep improving and contend for the A standard and world team in the next couple months.
Tough conditions with the wind and Mary may have gone out a little aggressively then realized it around 600 meters...
Awesome race for JBS..made it look easy.
Nice formula Ventolin.
beep beep beep moron beep beep science.
Jenny did look good for so early. She ran away with it about with 600M to go.

Show some class and respect. We are talking about a HS 16 year old girl here. Weldon and Robert need to quit letting these sort of posts go unchecked. It's one thing to attack an adult, but she's just a kid. And Bunny Foo Foo, don't be a coward and say you were attacking Salazar.
Is there a video replay available?

Truth is not important on here, just innuendo, hearsay and opinion.

Whaaaa! Waaahhhhh, Waaaahh.
if she wants to run with the big dogs and pretend she's a pro, people are certainly entitled to voice their opinions. Otherwise go back to high school.
Funny, you were leading the criticism of Caster Semenya as a teen, but I guess it's okay since she wasn't white.
